No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Xylokastro-Evrostina escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Xylokastro-Evrostina easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
